No matter what the weather does, the Left will blame global warming for it.

In the mind of a Leftist, it's all the fault of humans and to correct that, they (the oh so smart Leftist elites) need to control every aspect of our life since the rest of us are just so stupid and ignorant.

It's just another example of how the Left twists words to suit their needs.

Everyone of those reporters was most likely thinking the comments were directed at everyone else in the room except for them personally. I've fought with a few reporters via letters over the years and I can tell you that not one reporter which I criticized for being biased thought they were regardless of the amount of proof provided to them. Every biased quote they made which I pointed out had some poor excuse assigned to it by the reporter in their response to me.

Nobody is going to get the existing reporters to change. What we need is to replace the biased reporters. The problem is finding a new crop of reporters that haven't been brainwashed by the journalism schools they attended.

Libs love passenger rail because it is inherently expensive to build, run and maintain. If passenger rail service was actually viable in this day and age, private railroads would be tripping over each other to provide the service and we'd already have it in place.

The fact is that high speed passenger rail service isn't a profitable mode of transportation. Just like your local public transit system, high speed rail will need massive taxpayer subsidies. These tax subsidies will not be spent wisely as is evident by the pure waste already shown by just about every taxpayer subsidized public transportation mode in every major city in the United States.

Obama showed how petty he really is at the SOTU address.

What is funny is how much people like Obama love the court when they rule in their favor but when they don't, they'll name call and just go around the court as though they don't matter.

I live in a union town and I am well aware of how unions protect workers that commit crimes, act like thugs and/or just don't work while at the same time punishing those workers that do their job. I have witnessed it at various unionized workplaces as well as knowing many in unions that inform me of these things in other workplaces.

Unions had their place in history and were needed at one time however their time has passed. Unions today are nothing but political machines.

Personally. I don't think Obama does roll well with the punches. He's too thin skinned and is easily rattled by criticism. When criticized, he rarely just moves on but keeps revisiting the criticism made against him through various attacks against those doing the criticism. For more than a year, he has dredged up old criticisms made about him to continue to attack the Right. The tactic isn't working yet he just can't get past the old punches thrown at him.

What impresses me the most with Sarah Palin is that she can roll with the punches. We all know the Left has thrown a lot of punches in her direction yet she continually keeps on topic without losing a step.

The Left fears her for a good reason. She doesn't bend to their will nor does she try to compromise with them. That alone has earned her my vote. Reagan was the last president in my lifetime that came across in the same manner.

Not only are those two products the most heavily taxed, they are also the least stable in terms of being able to "depend" on for revenue. Every time the government hikes the taxes, they plan spending on projected increase of revenue based on current and sometimes even increased use of the products. The reality is that the use almost always declines as does the revenue. In the case of tobacco taxes, the revenue will even decline below the revenue generated prior to the tax increase. When the revenue doesn't bring in what was projected, we all have to listen to politicians whine about running out of money and endure higher taxes on everything else to pay for the spending they did based on poorly projected revenues on alcohol and tobacco.

I don't find Obama the powerful and dynamic speaker that so many others find him, even many on the Right. Between his mis-pronunciations, constant umms and ahhs, his head bobbing between teleprompters and lack of making contact with his audience, I find his speeches very amateurish. I've seen better speakers in a high school debating group.
